Learn valuable skills to educate your peers and family members about the services available in your community and promote the use of 211 as a problem solving tool.

211 Palm Beach/Treasure Coast is a non-profit organization that provides access to information, referral, telephone counseling, and crisis intervention as well as community education services. By simply dialing 2-1-1, individuals are able to talk to specially trained counselors who provide supportive counseling and/or referrals to appropriate community services.
